I'm not particularly a fan of this whole Hearts of Steel thing so this'll inevitably be a pass for me. But these designs are all pretty cool. I realise it's just a prototype figure, but I would hope there will be more detail on the finished version. The concept art is very nice indeed.

I'm very intrigued. I thinks they would look very nice, especially if they are scaled to fit on the standard hobby train tracks. Not that I collect model trains, but I think it would allow for some unique displays.
If finances allow I will be acquiring this set.
Grails:
Bots: G1 Bumblebee; Balance of Aerialbots(I have Air Raid)
parts: Overload's arms. Wanted badly

Quit being so oblivious to your surroundings. We get it. You like G1. You don`t need to blast it out in every single toy thread that has a G1 character that doesn't look G1 enough for your tastes. This is a good design and shouldn't be blasted because it's not G1. That era ended 21 years ago. I apologize if some fans had to move on to other things.

These make me so very happy. I must have them.
If they are not by Mastermind Creations... that's actually fine. There are enough HoS designs that it would take one 3rd party group too many years to produce them all. However, if it IS a different group, I hope they are least communicate with MC to make sure they aren't being redundant, and additionally to make sure that Insectitrain can attach to Optimus' hitch.

All I can say is Im old school buddy. A "G1 character that doesn't look G1 enough" is kind of annoying to me. I said I might buy em, so saying Im blasting them is a little bit of an exaggeration. I just wont be displaying them as the midnight express. So Prime and the Insecticons get a train mode. What happened to Astrotrain ??? That would have made more sense for this line.

Astrotrain was in Hearts of Steel so a figure for him is also a possibility.

But these aren't G1 characters, they're Hearts of Steal Characters. That's like saying Cybertron Optimus Prime isn't G1 enough. It's a different continuity all together.

I really like the idea here. MMC KMC was a pretty good first offering. Here's to hoping this is their work. Although, truth be told, I thought HOS was garbage. I'd rather be getting figures based on the dead animal TFs that were in the first handful of pages. My two cents.
